Brace for the Freight Train (Live at NPC 2023)

[Refrain]
Brace for the freight train (For the freight train)
Brace for the freight train (Chugging 'til you die)
Brace for the freight train (For the freight train)
Brace for the freight train (Chugging ’til you die)

[Verse 1]
Brace for the freight train, for the tracks you left are dry
It only takes one shot from the horror, blood will start to cry
And if you were hoping you could run from the past that haunts you in your stead
Brace those heels, keep 'em running, it watches where you bled

[Refrain]
Brace for the freight train (For the freight train)
Brace for the freight train (Chugging 'til you die) (Yeah!)
Brace for the freight train (For the freight train)
Brace for the freight train (Chugging ’til you die)

[Verse 2]
No safety from the freight train, there's a madness and decay
It closes in fast, and you're the only hope to let darkness come to play
To lure this crimson iron horse to Valhalla's claustrophobic tomb
So pay the toll now, before it drives you too close to pending doom

Oh, and it keeps on chugging, no turning back from here
For it's not so easy to forget your own peril started near
So there's no more changing minds, running out of time
You can't escape it for it's you who changed the tracks
Now fight it back, keep fate from coming near

[Pre-Chorus]
So keep turning

[Chorus]
A locomotion pivots to the hole in your heart
Be prepared to put ancient crypts to rest
For every corner remised will haunt your way
It’s encased in your membrane, brace for the freight train
Now light the fire, and ignite the bridge that stand in your way
Trap the spider diminishing your reign
Like a dynamite implosion gone insane
Fire it up, start the bullet rain, there’s no time to explain
Brace for the freight train

(Everybody down, everybody down
When I count to four, I'm gonna ask you to jump
Are you with me?)

[Bridge]
Crank it to overdrive (Jump!)
That train is coming, catch up if you must
How’d you get this far without your engine turned to rust?
Make it the dust that settles onward, to die on hills afar
This ritual remains, brace for the freight train

[Outro]
A locomotion pivots to the hole in your heart
Be prepared to put ancient crypts to rest (Laid to rest)
For every corner remised will haunt your way
It's encased in your membrane, brace for the freight train
